[aclug-L] Re: IP Masq and games

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It probably won't work.  I have that game too... many games have proprietary
stuff that won't work behind a firewall (which IP masq effectively is).  You
might check the game settings or their web site for info on that... although
I don't recall seeing anything like that in the game's network options.

He'll probably need to connect directly to the Internet (with a 'real' IP
address), or play another game that works over IP masq (like Quake), or play
single-player for a while. :-)

A man in Johannesburg, South Africa, shot his 49-year-old friend in the
face, seriously wounding him, while the two practiced shooting beer cans off
each other's head.
